I've added two more acting-Governors and removed "William Coe" from the list, unless someone can find some evidence other than [1] for his existance. I know that they are an extremely good resource, but I've been searching newspaper archives and haven't found any trace of him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist. What I do have is several news articles that say that E. D. Taussig, who is not on the worldstatemen list, was the first governor to re-raise the American flag over Guam (March 1899), after the handful of local Governors following the US conquest and pullout in the Spanish-American war. I then have articles about Louis A. Kaiser (also not on their list) handing the keys to Gov. Leary, when he arrived in August 1899. Coe could have been another acting Gov. during that window, but for the life of me I can't find him and I'm getting pretty good at finding Navy people. (There should be an news article *somewhere* about him being promoted, for example, but nothing in the 1890 to 1910 timeframe that I see with my resources.) It's still hard to prove a negative.

According to Guam govermnet website, Mr. Cruz Pérez was Acting Governor from 2/1 to 4/20/1899. Now, from what I can see of the timeline, this doesn't work. I have a New York Times article ("Spaniards Rise in Guam") from 12/30/1898 that mentions Sisto's overthrow of Portsach. (The following day, there is an article in the Times saying that "Captain Kempft" would be appointed Governor, but that obviously didn't happen.) On 1/15/1899, the NYT says that Leary was appointed Governor and he would (eventually) set out on the Yorktown. It would take quite a while for him to arrive, so there is plenty of room for acting-Governors. Then, the NYT says on 3/1/1899 (with a byline of 2/21 from Honolulu) that Taussig has "raised the flag" and is acting Governor. (According to a Guam history site, he arrived 1/12 and Sisto was Governor at the time. That site also supports the Portsach -> Sisto -> Jose Palomo -> Sisto progression.) An NYT article from 4/16 ("Government of Guam") seems to indicate that Taussig didn't stay long, setting up a local government. This could be where Cruz Perez fits in. In an article dated 8/2 ("Progress of the Governor of Guam"), the paper says that Kaiser is acting Governor. Leary finally arrives 8/29 and takes over.
To make a long story short, I'm reordering the list a bit, against what Worldstatesmen says. I'm still leaving out Coe, because I can find no mention of him anywhere, though he could have been on the "local government", but his name doesn't sound Spanish and it was already pretty clear that Portusach was the only American on the island.

The result of the move request was: not moved. See mostly opposition to the page move as proposed; however, this should not thwart the nom's plans to create a new article about the political post in the spirit of the 27 states listed below that have both list and list-topic articles. Creating the article at Draft:Governor of Guam is good advice. Happy New Year to All! ( closed by page mover) Paine Ellsworth put'r there 02:47, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
List of Governors of Guam → Governor of Guam – I plan to create a separate article about the political post (Governor of Guam). It seems that I can't unless an admin authorizes the removal of the redirect link to "Lists of Governors of Guam". Please remove the redirect link so that I can finally construct the new article.

IMO, many of the List articles have only been made into lists so they can become WP:Featured lists, not because organizing/separating them into lists is organizationally superior." I'm gonna bypass the redirects in that template, to get a better picture of the lists / not lists. – wbm1058 ( talk) 15:15, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Just because it includes lists doesn't mean it has to have "list" in the title. Heck, the former Governor of Colorado article's content has even been merged to and it now redirects to here." Discussion there about the merits of moving vs. copy-pasting. There are 25 deleted edits sitting underneath List of Governors of Colorado from a previous merge; these should be restored to restore attribution for that merge. Moving over the top of a page with content history is a no-no as this deletes that content history. – wbm1058 ( talk) 15:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

I was attempting to make some improvements to the articles of the governors themselves when I ran into a problem mainly involving the article of William Swift and the {{ Governors of Guam}} navigational box. According to this List, Leary was the first American Naval governor, Safford was an acting governor starting from June 12th of 1900, Schroeder was the second governor from July 12th of 1900 to 1903, Swift was an acting governor in 1903, Sewell was the third governor, Schofield was an acting governor, Stone was an acting governor, Dyer was the fourth governor, McNamee was the fifth governor from 1905 to 1906, Potts was the sixth governor, McNamee was an acting governor following Potts in 1907, Dorn was the seventh governor, and Freyer was the eighth. The Governors of Guam navigational box lists the order as: "Leary Safford Schroeder Swift Schroeder Sewell Schofield" with Schroeder listed both before and after Swift. The List has two individuals with the number 3 (Sewell, Stone) and skips from number 20 (Brown) to number 23 (Shapley).
For individual articles:
There are also articles like Lloyd Stowell Shapley where the infobox lists him as the "25th Naval Governor of Guam", the lede as the "32nd Naval Governor of Guam", and here as the "23rd American Naval Governor of Guam" along with a number of succession boxes that appear inaccurate if a governor was an acting Governor or not. (The navigational box does not show any of the Naval Governors as an acting Governor.) Given the number of issues, I have added the {{ Contradicts others}} template until things can be untangled. -- Super Goku V ( talk) 11:18, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
